Inner and Outer Pilgrimage (Nether Springs)
25 – 28 January (Monday to Thursday)
This retreat involves both inner pilgrimage – a journey of inner work, silence, study, peace and rest and an opportunity for the ‘Heart alone with God’ and outer pilgrimage. We have a set of resources to help equip those on retreat with their own transportation, to have self-led explorations of the rich Christian heritage of Northumbria through outer, physical pilgrimage to nearby Celtic Sites. The Nether Springs Chapel, Poustinia, Labyrinth, gardens and woods and local country and coastal walks are available to all guests and provide time with God in Creation and space for the inner-outer pilgrimage as well.

Exile and Empire (Nether Springs)
29 – 31 January (Friday to Sunday)
We live in a culture formed by powerful economic, political and consumer forces — a modern empire that shapes our desires, fears, choices and imaginations. Many of us feel the tension of trying to live faithfully within this system, longing for a different way.
While nurturing space for creativity, honesty, lament, hope and imagination, this retreat will explore the themes of exile, empire, and faithful living, drawing on Peter McDowell’s book Exile and Empire, for which there will also be a book launch on Saturday evening. You do not need to have read the book to take part.
